105 - Building self assurance (with journal prompts)

Let's start with what a LACK of self assurance looks like... Leaky boundaries leading to resentment Feeling a strong sense of self doubt when you're making ANY type of decision for fear of what they'll think Not fully owning what you really want because 'they' haven't yet given you permission& encouragement to want it Wanting to hide under a rock (for life) anytime you have to have a difficult conversation Looking OUT THERE for acceptance before you accept yourself Pushing through, using force, saying "YES" (when you mean "no") ...all because you can not cope with the feeling of their disappointmentSound familiar?Quite often clients will come to me wanting to increase their 'confidence'.But what I find is much more subtly, they just want to accept themselves.  They want to feel SELF ASSURANCE.If you can relate - this podcast episode is a must listen.  PLUS as well as giving you journal prompts at the end of the episode and on my blog at www.tlb.org.uk/blogYou're welcome.Tune in to learn...
